Lyrics
When the sun comes up I crawl out of bed
Upon waking up as the sun rises
Roll the daily bread and wait for it to rise
Metaphorical reference to daily routine and waiting for something to develop or progress
When the day comes along I can feel you're gone
Sensing the absence of someone as the day begins
I will carry on, it's all that I can do
Determined to continue despite the absence, as there's no other choice
To tell you the truth, to give you this promise
Being honest and making a commitment
I feel no pain, I feel no bliss
Feeling neither pain nor joy
To tell you the truth
Reiteration of truth
Though may I seem heartless
Seeming cold or unfeeling
To make no excuse for the way it is
Refusing to offer justifications for circumstances
I saw it coming from miles away
Anticipating an inevitable event
like a disco ball on the back of a freight train
Comparing an unavoidable situation to a noticeable object on a powerful force
You can go long way anticipating grief
Preparing for significant emotional pain by expecting it
I felt it coming from miles away
Anticipating an impending event or change
I felt the weight of changes, universal sameness
Sensing the burden and similarity in changes universally
I felt it go
Feeling the departure or loss
To tell you the truth, to make you this promise
Reiterating honesty and commitment
I feel no pain, I feel no bliss
Experiencing neither pain nor joy, reaffirming the truth
To tell you the truth
Restating the lack of emotional display
Though may I seem heartless
Seeming devoid of empathy or emotions
To make no excuse for the way it is
Refusing to give excuses for the current situation
I don't want to cry and you don't want to hear it
Avoiding displaying emotions or causing discomfort
I wouldn't want to appear sad
Not wanting to seem sad or unhappy
I wouldn't want you near that when you're trying to go
Desiring to spare someone from emotional pain
I wanna say goodbye but I don't want to fear it
Wishing to part ways without causing fear or distress
speaking incoherently
Indicating a moment of speechlessness or confusion
Maybe that's the way the spirit speaks when you lose someone
Suggesting a cryptic way of expressing feelings after losing someone
